Two Acoustic Guitars Are Better Than One

Thursday, 14 August 2008 , 0 Comments

The classic line about two of anything being better than one holds true here with Bag of Toys, a Northern California surf-rock band, headed by two acoustic guitars. The band’s debut album “Nooner” featured Surf Song – which believe it or not is a tribute to the care-free surfer lifestyle – driving to the beach, checkin’ out babes, and riding waves. This song seems to sum up their mentality in a nutshell. The Raven, another track off their debut album, starts off with a gentle, upbeat verse, clearly showing the influence Jack Johnson has had on their music. The song then jumps into the chorus which has a much stronger rock influence with the same light-hearted, “hangin’ at the beach” sound that makes you want to meet up at their special spot behind Pier 23 and have a few beers with them. Bag of Toys recently released their second full-length album “Afternooner” which is available for download on Itunes now. So check out some self-proclaimed “acoustic surf-rock that doesn’t suck,” have a beer, and wish you were at the beach.
